BUT WHAT WILL YOU
FIND IN GEORGIA?
Our good friend, Mr. Z. V. Creas
man, of Penrose, writes us to stop
sending the paper to him at the ex
piration of his time, and gives the
following reason:
"I am leaving out for Augusta,
Ga^ where we may have a wad thai
we can get out without having tc
travel in wagon or an airplane. J
wish to say that it is impossible tc
get out of our place at present. My
place is for sale, cheap."
Now The Brevard News can fully
sympathize with Mr. Creasman. The
roads are bad, not only in his- sec
tion but in other sections of the
county as well. This has been an
unusually hard winter, with mud
more rain than has ever been knowx
to tail heretofore, according tc
some of the oldest citizens. The
county ought to work hard, and not
stop, until all the county roads are
made into all-weather roads. Much
work has been done along this line,
and it is a matter that concerns ev
ery one . in the county.
But what will Mr.- Creasman find
in Georgia. According to press dis
patches many lives have been lost
down there from the floods and high
waters. Sunday papers carried the
news that farmers are leaving their
homes in sections of Georgia, seek
ing higher grounds, to keep -from be
ing drowned in the raging waters of
that st?:e. Cattle, crops and homes
are reported to have been washed
away, d?vwn in Georgia.
We're hoping that Mr. Creasman
will change his mind. There is no
place thiiv side the Pearly Gates
where perfection can be found. It is
true we have some bad roads in this
county, but they can be fixed. Down
in Georgia they have the same flood
conditions, only worse,, and the roads
must be much worse than our own.
Then, when the summer sun begins
to shine, down in Georgia, the mos
quitoes begin to sing, and the heat
beats down, and there is none of the
cool breezes that bless mankind in
Transylvania county. Nor 'will our
friend find the pure drinking water,
down in Georgia, that flows from
t-verv mountainside in Transylvania
?? ? . . . " - .*.*-* " . . .
county. Then, too, he will grow so
lonesome and home-sick for the
yjreat mountain scenery, that is vis
ible to all residents of Transylvania
county, .look in whatever 'direction
one may.
No Sir, dear friend, there cannot
be found, in all the state of Georgia
or in any other state for that matter,
the '?? tliwusand 'things .that- make
life worth living right here in good
?1, ; . -yivania county.
Wheti the people of this county
get" enough <>f political factional
fighting, and demand progressive ad
jninisU:.Tion" i't' the county's affairs
from whatever party may be in
power, instead of doing those things
that will "react to the benefit t>f one
political party and to the detriment
of the other political party, then
this coirr.ty can have her road.s put
in proper shape.
And that day is not far distant, so
we hope our friend Creasman will
change his mind, for there are many
advantages here, even now, to each
disadvantage.

fast and hard, for this poor bard

Bob Zagier, Asheville merchant
now retiring, told a friend that he
was quitting business so he could
enter the diplomatic service, to be
stationed in Mexico. "What kind of
work is that?" Bob's friend asked
him. And this friend was born and
reared in the shadow of Weaverville
college. It knocks the wind out of
arguments for opportunity', doesn't
it?
I j AYS TO STOP SCHOOLS
AND BUILD THE ROADS.
One of the county's best citizens,
living off the main highway in the
Toxaway section, suggests that the
county simply disband all the schools
next year and take the school money
and the road money, and make roads
throughout the county so the school
buses can run all the winter, en
abling the children: to attend school.
He believes that the children, as a
whole, would make greater progress
in their studies in the years to come
than they are now making, and
would soon make up the time lost
during the year the school is closed.
He told of children who leave
home at 5:30 and 6 o'clock in the
morning to begin the trip to the
corner where they catch the bus.
Then it is, he says, anywhere from
8 to 11 o'clock at night when the
I children get home in some sections
' j of the county. ,
Of course this cannot be done,
j for it would not be legal under our
I laws. We're not publishing the let
? jttr in full, because we know there
'I are some things that our friend
' j would not want published when he
^ has had time to calmly consider the
1 matter. The suggestion, however, is
r being published in this form, so the
people of the county jnay know
' j just how deeply concerned are those
citizens who live off the main high
? ways as to the condition of roads
s ; in their communities.
i j ' i tit; Brevard News is confident
i ! that a way will be found whereby
t .tie county roads can be made into
? all-weather roads. A portable rock
! crusher, plus some road money, plus
; a determination, would solve the
! px-oblem. There is an abundance of
' stone all over the county that can
i be crushed, and crushed stone elim
? inates mud holes.
The most expensive thing in Tran
sylvania county today is the muddy
? road through an otherwise progres
; sive community. Those of us who
. live along the many miles of paved
j roads have no idea of the condition
confronting our neighbors who live
in sections through which no paved
road runs. Every merchant in Bre
jvard is losing because of this condi
tion. Everybody loses money when
the citizenship of rural communities
cannot travel.
Officials in charge of the roads
cannot do anything with the pitiful
'amount of money that has been set
aside for roads. It is going to cost
real money to put our county roads
i in good condition, but it will be the
best moey the county ever spent,
and will pay greater returns on such
money than any other investment
the county can make or has ever
I made.
PRESIDENT HOOVER'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
i President Herbert Hoover, in his
I inaugural address last Mond rov
!ed his familiarity with problems af
jfcc'tiag this nation's welfare. He
I painted no rosy pictures of the na
tion's future, nor did he attempt to
[glorify our past achievements. But,
'like the engineer who surveys the
Iground upon which he must build,
, he noted the weak spots, paid strict
attention to obstacles that must be
jovircome, and planned accordingly.
{ Perhaps the most interesting phase
jof the President's address is that
j dealing with the prohibition . ques
jtiun. The responsibility of enforce
J ment of prohibition laws xvas laid
upon the shoulders of those people
who consider themselves law-abiding
citizens. The President said:
"But a large responsibility rests
directly upon our citizens. There
would be little, traffic in illegal
liquor if only criminals patronized
it. We must awake to the fact that
this patronage from large numbers
of law-abiding citizens is supplying
the rewards arid stimulating crime.
?"I have been selected by you to
execute and enforce the laws of the
country. I propose to do so to the
extent of my own abilities, but the
measure of success that the govern
ment shall attain will depend upon
the moral support which you, as
citizens, extend. The duty of citi
zens to support the laws of the land j
is co-equal yith the duty of their
| government, to enforce the laws
which exist. No greater national
service can be given by men and
women of good will ? who, I know,
are not mindful of the responsibil
ities of citizenship ? than that they
should, by their example, assist in
stamping out crime and outlawTy by i
(refusing participation in and con
'demning all transactions with il
legal liquor. Our whole system of
self-government will crumble either
if officials elect what laws they will
enforce or citizens elect what laws
they will support. The worst evil
of disregard for some laws is that I
it destroys respect for all law. For
our citizens to patronize the viola
tion of a particular law on the ground
that they are opposed to it is des
tructive of the very basis of all that
protection of life, of homes and
property which they rightly claim
under other laws. If citizens do
net like a law, their duty as honest
men and women is to discourage its
violations; their right is openly to
work for its repeal.
"To those of criminal mind, there
can be no appeal but vigorous en
forcement of the law. Fortunately,
they are but a small percentage of1
? ? ?
our people. Their activities inust
De stopped."
President Hoover said further that
state and county officers throughout
the country, generally speaking, had
failed to do their part in the en
forcement of the prohibition laws,
and this failure had been partially
responsible for the conditions as
they exist today.
This challenge to the "law-abiding
citizens'' of the country will have a
wholesome effect. It takes at least
two people to bootleg? the seller and
the buyer. Without the buyer, the |
seller could not commit. the crime,]
therefore, the buyer is just as
guilty of violation of the lav, in
i every sense of the word, as is the
| seller.
j The Country will be interested in
watching the effect of the President's
message upon members of congress,
and other government representa
tives ? especially those of the- same
political faith of the President.

woman candidate for mayor. Our
advice would be: Go easy, Easley,
in easing that uneasy place onto a
woman's shoulders that are always
easily bent.
Gene Duck's letter may not be
approved in its entirety by many
people here, but there is one thing
in it that is unanswerable. No one

county until every home grown

STANDARD OIL CO.
TELLS A SECRET
Just as changes in traffic condi
tions bring changes in mptor and
automotive engine design, so do
trends in automotive etigines create
new motor fuels.
j The Sandard Oil company of New
! Jersey, according to company offic
ials , through the development of its
research department of more than
300 trained men, and the coopera
tion of various manufacturers of
motor cars has anticipated 1929
.motor needs. The result is a new and
i improved "Standard" Gasoline that
Jnot only works better in the most
modern of motors, but starts rapidly
and gives lightning-fast accelera
tion to. older models as well.
Experimentation has been carried
cn with this improved "Standard"
Gasoline for some time. Tests were
made by various loca 1 distributors
of automobiles in their newest mod
els. Without divulging the fact
that a new gasoline was being sold
motorists in different states were
'given the opportunity of powering
their cars with, it and asked if they
I noted any difference in the results.
"I've never seen my car start so
'fast,'1 was the general conclusion."
"On cold mornings," said one, "I
' used to grow irritable because I
[wasted ten minutes' time in the
garage. But there's something about
j 'Standard' Gasoline now that gets
;me out, and to work in a jiffy. I
jlike it because it's a zippy gas, lim
jber, smoother and richer. It's really
; the Champion gasoline."
! Thus the new slogan "It's the
Champion" was evolved from the en
thusiastic praises welcoming the
new clear, sparkling, white gasoline.
"The 'Standard' staff of resea h
men," continued the company offic
ials, "are already studying trends
for 1930 and though the constant
improvements may not be advertised
to the public, it is safe to say that j
'Standard' Gasoline will be still ,
faster on pick-up, cause less crank
case dilution than other gasolines 1
and have more than enough added
power . to master any traffic situa
tion."

, ohiNG ClUB TO
MEET MONDAY, 11
(By JERRY. JEROME)
Owing to the small attendance
- - ?. i
that turned out at the court nouse
last Saturday night, due to the fact
that 'Saturday night means too much
to the merchants to leave their
places of business, the meeting was
held over to Monday night, March
11, at 7:30 p.m.
T he purpose of this meeting, as
some of you already know, is to or-i
ganize a club or league which will
carry on the program of fish and
game restoration in our county
which has already been started by a
few in the past year. This does not
mean that only hunters or fishermen ,
are entitled to membership in this
organization for it is necessary to
have the co-operation of every citi
zen in the county, and whether you ,
jare inclined to either of these sports,;
jit is your duty to become a member,
i if you would like to see your county
made into a sportsman's paradise.
The situation in our county must
be remedied, we must adopt a pro
gram of fish and game restoration,
; interest must be revived, good sports
manship must prevail, if we
our county placed among those that
are already going into this work,
and in the long run everyone bene
fits. Already Brevard has been ad
vertised as having built a few ' rear
ing pools" for baby fish, and inquir
ies are coming in every day in re
gard to our fishing, but, if we fail
to CARRY ON, some of these who
are coming here this or in future
years to fish will 'be disappointed.
Last year our game warden had
twenty-four Mexican quail shipped
into our county; this year he has
forty-eight to distribute, but one
man cannot do this work, it is going
; to take the efforts of a body of
I men such as this which we are very
I anxious to organize. Last year we
planted in several streams and ponds
about 18,000 rainbow and speckled
trout, keeping them in these "rear
ing pools" until they were about six
and seven inches long; this year we
have the opportunity of getting
from the state about 25,000 trout
to plant, providing we can have this
;club or league organized.
J. K. Dixon of the State Depart
ment Of Conservation and Develop
jm'ent has come out with the state
ment that those and they only, who
have "rearing pools" in which to
! raise the baby fish until they are
'able to take care of themselves
when they are planted in streams j
i will get fish from the state. It is
isnfe to say that only about 10 per
[cent, if that many, of the young fish
' planted in streams after getting
I them direct from the hatcheries sur
jvive the natural hazards, obstacles
or enemies, but about 90 per cent
'of them will liva if you put them in
streams after keeping them in these
! pools until they arfe about six inches
:in length.
| Our game warden will tell you ox
jone instance where he was instru
mental in getting three non-resdents
of the state to come here through
the huting season to hunt, and it is
safe to say that before they left
they had spent in this county around
I $500.00. This is a direct benefit
J from game and fish restoration.
I have and vou have also listened
?to the "Old Timers" tell you about
jhow they used to go out to any
stream in the county and catch a
| mess of fish, or go anwhere in the

is by train. The safest. Most com

county and kill a deer, pheasant,
turkey or any other wild game. But,
can you dot this now? Of course
not, we and they have just caught
and killed and not for a moment
have we given restoration a single
thought.
I On Monday night, March 11 at
7:30 let's all get together, meet sfc
the court house and organize thia
league. We cannot go on as we
have, something must be done to
restore the things that we have done
away with. We owe it to ourselves
and to the younger generation.
